The Genotype of Cummingella Reed

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The genus Cummingella was erected by Reed (1942, p. 653) with the genotype “Entomolithus (Oniscites) derbiensis Martin”; the accompanying generic diagnosis, however, was based, not on the description and illustrations given by Martin (1809), but on the concept of Phillipsia derbiensis Auctorum which has prevailed since, at least, the time of H. Woodward's 1883 account published in the Monograph of the British Carboniferous Trilobites. The purpose of this note is to indicate and to attempt to clarify the unsatisfactory nomenclatorial state of both Martin's species and Phillipsia derbiensis Auctorum.
